#GwynethPaltrow #Ski #Crime
Im sure if she was guilty she would give the 300k. Thats nothing at all for her. I think this guy thought he could get a quick settle. But she showed up for court!
Exactly. Him and his lawyers are looking for a cash grab.
Exactly. If she was at fault she could’ve easily settled with a larger amount and an NDA. She’s not stupid.
Didn’t they lower their request also?
Gwyneth is bottom rung at her best
Derpy, dumb and entitled. All these people are defending her, even though she took off after the accident. If this were an auto accident, she’d be in trouble for that alone.
What a damning statement that is for you then huh? Because, if she’s bottom rung, then you’re underground. Guess that’s why you made your comment though.
I dont have time to watch all of this and I have no faith in the justice system so if I had the time, I’d be wasting it. I got hit by a guy on the slopes and he cracked my pelvis. I didn’t have money to pay for all the damage and he didn’t stick around to offer to pay either.
Opportunistic shake down.
Paltro is telling the truth. P5ayers.
Paltrow’s insurance company almost certainly told her to settle this case. The judge knocked the amount down to $300,000. The legal fees for both parties are probably over $500,000 and counting. But no, Paltrow cannot admit she is at fault. IMHO, she is making a mistake not taking the settlement offer. In Utah, a “party’s wealth or financial condition” may be allowed in determining punitive damages after there is a finding of liability. Paltrow still has a chance to bail out before the jury returns a verdict. But she won’t and the jury will not buy her act.
It would be highly unusual for the judge to amend the complaint to lower the amount of damages sought. The complaint is written by and amended by the plaintiff’s attorneys.
You mean the jury will not buy his act. The report says he hit her from behind. Period. His lawyers are making “ spaghetti “ of the incident. He claims brain injuries and travels the world after incident. Really ? I would not settle with this gold digger and teach him a lesson of public humiliation. That lawyer in blue suit is zcting zs if this was her time of her life, 5 min. Of fame in a high profile case. This lawsui is a joke
@Chris Ray The judge eliminated one of the original claims based on Utah law and the restrictions in place at the ski venue.
@judge crater It’s typical for judges to dismiss claims from the complaint for legal reasons, like failure to state a claim, but that’s different than changing the amount of damages sought, which is a matter of evidence. Perhaps the damages were reduced by the plaintiff after some of their claims were dismissed.
Ever read the back if the lift ticket ? I think he should not have been skiing if he was hurt from that. It sounds like he was hit with a car. Four broken ribs and a head injury from little Gwyneth ? Hard to see that.
I can’t think of anything more important these days than a ski accident? Goebbels really does run msm?
Give the guy a role in the next Marvel movie. He makes a great bearded, suave- looking villain. Case settled.
link to the clip they finally released it
https://youtu.be/u2tUEQoD9YE
I don’t believe that schmuck Dr. for a minute. I ski, and snowboard, and have had this happen to me. I believe Paltrow is an experienced, and responsible skier. I think the Dr. is a “gold-digger”. Much information is missing from his claim.
She got Fugly.
Where’s the Weinstein money?
When a professional testifies that ‘ there’s only one scenario’ , you know this guy hasn’t testified before. There is never one scenario mate, not unless you are creating a narrative ……..
If Gwyneth was hit from behind in her back as she stated, then that could pretty much tell you who may be the at fault party here.
Yes,and is she jumping up and down about injuries SHE suffered from his negligence?
@Juliette Lynne no, because accidents happen all the time. Las time I bumped into, or was bumped by someone letting it pass was mutual and forgettable. If I was famous I can bet you one of those incidents would’ve caused irreparable damage.
@Brak Dayton that was a rhetorical question
lol lawsuit reduced to 1 dollar in damages hahah
She is lying, the man’s teams are pointing out the physics side and medical science side from different experts in those fields, her defense is he was wrong and made up baseless claims, like selling her Goo products 😂
He got butthurt from hitting her he’s trash.
Lying about what? The dude hit her, apologized to her and has spent years trying to get money from her. He’s a piece of trash.
@Alex S. Vogel that was he said she said situation, you just recycled her version of what happened! If she has any evidence ANY, there won’t be a case. You moron !
@Jason Dauenbaugh the only trash is you ! You are siding with Paltrow when she didn’t provide ANY evidence to back up her claims!
Aren’t there any independent witnesses?
this stuff happens in a nano-second. and people don’t come forward. AND with those ski goggles and gear ever if they witnessed they probably didn’t see it as important,
half the time I can’t remember what happened yesterday, much less 7 years ago.
Lock her up!
who cares?! not news
What’s the statute of limitations in Utah?!
They need to punish this guy for trying this scam and prosecute all of those ppl testifying on his behalf for lying under oath’s.
Yeah, I’m sure he broke his own ribs and gave himself a head injury, and purposely found her on the slopes so he could set this all up.
@J Toland He probably didn’t realize that he would mess himself up like that. I wholeheartedly believe that he did set it up on purpose because he found out who she was and wanted to extort her.
This is crazy if you have ever skied on a very crowded ski slope especially on home runs at closing. Skiing is dangerous on its own. If this stands then the Ski industry should be worried.
In 2008 they passed a new federal law…. There will not be any automobile accidents… Accident implies no one was at fault… Someone is always at fault and will be charged and prosecuted for a crash….
He acted like she was showboating or skiing recklessness, the truth is he probably didn’t ski with the traffic and cut her off when she was trying to pass; she probably didn’t even see him until it was too late
@Rick You dont ski do you.
@Rick but you probably watch NASCAR for the crashes.
@Rick : Wrong!….as usual.
This trial is really snowballing down hill 😉
I’m wanting to believe this is an attempt to get some cash out of her. What I’m not liking is her recounting the story as him coming up behind her in-between her skies and moaning as if he were trying to assault her? That seems fabricated.
This seems like a giant scam trying to shake her down. What a huge joke….
I believe Paltrow. He rammed into her and now trying to make money off her.
Really, no witnesses?
He ATFER HER MONEY 💰 look at HER 😊 MONEY GRAB 😅
And her $1 counter Suit should SAY it ALL 🎉
I stand with Gwyneth, ❤
She has a billion 300k to her is like 30 dollars
@GlobalisGood Never ask for a penny from Gwyneth or from someone who is j – – ish.
I stand with the television. I believe everything and anything I see on TV.
Goop shoop shove it up your hoop 😂
Problem with skiing is that unhealthy people like Terry can be out there skiing!!! Pretty scary. Similar to what e-biking has done to mountain biking. Getting unhealthy people out where they should not be.
And there’s a lot of drinking too. They serve alcohol on the mountain and some people even pack their own beer.
When Karen suits
Is this just a publicity stunt because it doesn’t seem like she can keep from laughing.
This trivial Law Suit could Destroy the Skiing Industry if someone files suit every time the have an ACCIDENT on a Ski Slope where the World Knows Accidents Happen. The Skiing Areas will become ghost towns. The New Skiers will just stop going to spend their money in the towns Like ASPEN, Steam Boat Springs and Big Sur. The Doctor is nothing but a Leach unwilling to take responsibility for his own actions by being on the slope in the wrong place at the wrong time which is called an “ACCIDENT”. I do not even like Paltrow. But, the economic disaster that can come from this suit has not been realized.
I think a guy like him — Gwyneth wouldn’t even notice in the real world. I think he is using this trial to force Gwyneth to pay attention to him. Sad.
Based on what?
OMG could she be any more pathetic and self absorbed??? What a horrible woman! She thinks a guy who got knocked down on a ski slope was sexually assaulting her? She is stupid, selifish and a liar.
Whichever person was uphill of / behind the other is ultimately responsible. It’s common skiing etiquette. One can not expect a downhill person to look backward while on skis. That said, there have been many times when a beginner skier further down the hill suddenly turns, changing direction unexpectedly without looking to the right or left at the area around them to see if anyone is nearby, and listen for the sound of a nearby skier. It’s a matter of fast thinking on the uphill skiers part to do their best to avoid the downhill skier with very little time to maneuver around the downhill person. End of the ski day is the worst for these accidents because everyone is tired, and some have a bit of alcohol in them, making their ability to judge distance and speed much worse. It’s unfortunate that the man was hurt, but being badly hurt is not evidence of guilt of the other person. Many skiers hurt themselves very badly without the help of anyone else (Sony Bono, Natasha Richardson). They are accidents. This is why they are called “Accidents”. Skiing is a sport done at one’s own risk as it usually says on the ticket one buys to ride the ski lift.
…dam that was long…brb.BRB..
0:32 Legs being spread, body pressing and grunting sounds like something other than skiing! Unintentially funny.
Sounds like he has a story but no evidence… similar to the Democrats endless allegations against Trump. 😂
It is absurd for the neurologist to say that for the man’s injury to happen,was “she had fallen on him & he landed on his side”?? 🤦🏻♀️.
You’ve got to be kidding!
Whew, 300 thousand dollars? That’s a lot of vagina rocks.
Her hair is green. Were the burning one her vagina scented candles in the courtroom to sway jurors? She is a liberal loser. She makes candles that smell like her vagina. What a loser. Pathetic!
“The look on your face
It can never explain your heart
And the touch of my lips it can never tell you my thoughts
Then you want me to change
But I can’t get used to all you want me to be
I just can’t pretend to be anyone else
Cause it’s not really me
This is my world
This is who I am
And I’m not gonna give up myself to make your life better
Girl this is how it is
I got my own life to live
You can either accept me or baby let me go.”
– Shallow Hal
Yep , you’re a weirdo… Destined to be a lonely weirdo… !!! 😢.
I can’t believe it’s all on GOPRO! annnnnnnnnnnd its gone.
Actresses know how to act well.
I had a guy crash into me when I was 8 sing and my shoulder has dislocated hundreds of times since then because of it. Like the doctor said about this guy suing, it forever changed my life. But I accept that skiing is dangerous, and things happen. The idea of suing someone over an accident, not a malicious attempt to trip someone, is insane. This guy should be ashamed of himself.
Skiing is dangerous activity.
Unless Paltrow intentionally crashed into someone, I believe, she is innocent, and all this fuss is so absurd.
Driving is also dangerous. If this happened on the road, would you still hold that opinion?
@J Toland
Driving is not as dangerous as skiing.
The number of people driving and skiing is so different, isn’t it?
@Julio Tancredi I didn’t say it was AS dangerous. I said it is ALSO dangerous. By your logic, if something is dangerous, nobody needs to be held accountable.
I feel sorry for the celebrities in the US.
Paparazzis follow them, which is illegal in Korea.
Whoever’s bumped accidentally, sue them for enormous amount of dollars, and they have to pay some money not to lose the public dignity.
She’s lying.
Paltrow is a known liar and snake oil peddler . . . just sayin’
Guess if you have more than ten dollars in your bank account don’t ski in Utah .Seems like Fred Sanford and his lawyer are looking for a big payday . Everyone be warned Utah scam artists or it sure seems. Gweneth lawyers need to look into this guy’s lawsuit history probably sued other folks . Hope the truth comes out he hit her from behind usually if you get hit from behind in car wreck for example the person rear end you is at fault .
Engineer clearly has never gone skiing lol I can come up with about 20 other collision scenarios that could easily lead to those injuries
lol like falling on the ice could’ve caused those injuries
Yes, how can a doctor say what caused the injury with such certainty? It’s impossible to know that! Unless there is video and proof of intent to harm this case needs thrown out of court.
She’s so gross
she trying to act??
If he has permanent brain damage how does he remember?
Maybe he wrote it down in his journal so that he won’t forget.
@Jamal W did the brain damage happen later or is it progressive 🤔.. if it is it isn’t her fault and if it isn’t he wouldn’t have been journaling at the time of the incident or after..
@Somebody Something The incident happened in 2016. Why sue now? Seven years later.
@Jamal W she isn’t sueing him.. so you tell me.. I don’t see how he can win anyway.. his brain damage suggests his memory is failing..
He probably saw who she was, and intentionally ran into her. I’m not even a fan of hers, but this guy has issues, that she didn’t cause.
His friend said the instructor came up to the plaintiff yelling “you hit Gwyneth Paltrow!”
Like they would really drop her name just like that. Those folks deal with über rich people everyday. They know the drill.
Oh please
I’m pretty sure when you get your lift ticket it states the consequences of your actions on said day. You take that lift pass knowing you may be subjected to injury. Just like taking a drivers course you take a test realize dangers at hand and proceed with caution. We will see what the judge has to say and jury.
We recently went skiing and I thought the same thing about ski at your own risk
I think he did it on purpose. He found out who she is and saw money signs in his eyes.
She is a really bad liar. Despicable woman who ego allows her to “have her people” deal with the Senior Citizen SHE RAN OVER. Jumps back up and takes off because she has a lunch date, before her massage.
And left the Senior with 4 broken ribs and a concussion, and rides on her celebrity privilage entitlement. “My people will handle it.” *3 MILLION!*
She’s tone deaf- Manipulative in a creepy way. Smug, and entitled. 🦖☄️
all that money and she cant even afford a jewish lawyer?
She is disgraced.
How is this news😂
An accident is an accident… how can there be a lawsuit… but anyone can see all he wants is money
Whatever it takes to get back on tv…………………..
He’s a liar. “Brain damage”. How conveniently ambiguous to prove.
What other behavior would we expect considering the 🍊💩 administration is such a superb role model.
Mean they’re so successful in this type of behavior. Why wouldn’t the people follow their example.
Monkey see monkey do °~•.☆.•~°
If she said “ you ran into my effing back” after an accident , she deserves to lose
Yeah, sure. If someone absolutely slammed into from behind, you wouldn’t say or do anything. Right…. Got it.
How could either one of these people know how to ski and not hit another people?
Bla bla bla who cares
Never ask for a penny from Gwyneth or from someone who is j – – ish.
Jail her !
I wonder if her jade egg fell out when his skis spread her legs apart
She is mentally ill and should be sued for her nonsense.
This is what happens when the parasitic “accident injury” (re ambulance chasers) lawyers get involved. I hope Paltrow gets justice from this low life!
Hundreds of kids are dying in America everyday from fentanyl poisoning coming across the open border and you talk about this crap
There just after money….sad
If you are rich and famous everybody wants your money. I believe her.
Accidents happen. Move on… this is a bit much.
He looking for some money and that it.
Send him on his way
I do not believe her. And why is she grinning????
i love paltrow
I will never believe a person that injects ozone in their butt holes.
Murderer
“The children” uhhuh… dont think ill believe you if you ever gave that cryful excuse ever again. Spend more money on your military.
Gwyneth’s accounts have some noticeable inconsistencies. When pressed about the accounts in her own deposition, with respect to “looking behind briefly to her right(?) when she was called on by her son,” who was uphill vis-a-vis her, “to take a look at him skiing,” Gwyneth responded that she had “no recollection” of whether her son was calling her to get her attention. This was notwithstanding her own deposition stating otherwise. Later on, however, when her own lawyer was questioning her and accusing the plaintiff of having “sketchy memory,” Gwyneth made a point about having a “very vivid” memory of what had happened to her on the day of the skiing accident.
When pressed, she acknowledged that she could not have “known for sure” whether the plaintiff bumped into her from behind accidentally or intentionally [allegedly to “sexually” assault her]. Again, however, she had earlier claimed that she had the impression that it was the latter, thereby inciting her to yell profanity at the plaintiff shortly after the two had bumped into one another rather than first asking the plaintiff if he was “okay.” Nonetheless, when her lawyer was questioning her, Gwyneth seemed resolute about the prospect of the plaintiff bumping into her on purpose.
I’m curious to know why if she did this to this man why she criminally wasn’t held liable I’m confused? Money grab maybe
Liar
She is a evil witch.
try getting the news (subscribed) on the weekend, nowhere to be found. I’ll go buy a local newspaper before subscribing to cbc news anymore they’re not reliable.
Faking Jew, I bet she’s onto something
The defendents lawyer has a condescending tone to her voice.
Two terrible skiers on a bunny hill running into each other at .05 mph. And this is our news. Pathetic. Bring back Covid news.
Since that bumbling old fool fell behind Gwyneth sliding between her feet, it is obvious that he was out of control and ran into her. This old pig saw dollar signs because she is quite recognizable being as beautiful as in her youth. This case is infuriating and Gwyneth is handling it with alot of class.
When a novice skier hits someone from behind, the only verbal exchange between them should have been for him to apologize. I would have reported him to the ski patrol as a wreckless danger. Alot of times you see men trying to ski on slopes that are beyond their skill level, falling is usually how they slow down. I wish he had hit a tree instead.
Far as I’m concerned Paltrow can do whatever she wants. Goddess does goddess sh*t
If she lights one of those candles, he will loose the case.
